State to State Races: Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois

My 'State to State Races' tour continues on as we introduce a few more states, none of which have serious threats in thier states.

First, we will look into Hawaii. Hawaii is known for being far left, even though lately the Republicans have started to get a bit closer here and there. But anyone looking for a change of hands is looking in the wrong state. Democrats should win their seats the whole way down the board, as Hawaii is a safe bet for Democrats in 2008.

Next we can take a look at Idaho. Since Larry Craig is on his way out of the Senate, Republicans will have little to fear in this election. The presidential race won't change hands, nor will the senate or house, and Idaho will be a bright spot for the GOP.

And then there is Illinois. I strongly believe Barack Obama will take the Democrat nomination, but even if he didn't Illinois isn't exactly a danger for Democrats in 08. The Senate seat will not be competitive, and only and a Democrat challenge to Republican Tim Baldermann keeps Illinois a state to watch.

Stay tuned for Indiana, Iowa
